Medical College of Wisconsin General Internal Medicine Hospitalist Program
Hospitalists are a group of attending physicians and advanced practice providers primarily dedicated to providing care to patients admitted to the inpatient medicine services at Froedtert Hospital. They are experts in the care of acutely ill medical inpatients. They work with the inpatient nursing staff, social workers, and other hospital staff to create an environment of seamless care for our hospitalized patients.
In addition to providing exceptional clinical care, hospitalists amplify the rich environment of patient medical education in the General Internal Medicine Division of the Department of Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital. They are valued educators of training physicians and other health care providers and are also active researchers who contribute to evolving medical knowledge.
